Indeed. As does the simple fact that if Gawker hadn’t angered Peter Thiel with coverage that he didn’t like, it is quite likely they would still be in business today. Both things are true, and being concerned about the latter doesn’t deny the former.
If things had gone sideways for Hogan at trial or some wrinkle had come up in the bankruptcy proceeding that left him without anything significant, I wonder what kind of malpractice and/or bar inquiry his attorneys would have been fearing?
